I am having this issue and nothing seems to work in IE but everything works for chrome and safari. I’ve tried various doctypes but can never even get a console message to display for the tweet event. I do get a console message once twitter is ready though. HELP!

twttr.ready (twttr) ->
console.log(‘beforetweet’)
twttr.events.bind “tweet”, (event) ->
console.log('just tweeted)

Do you have any example code of what you got to work? Everything I have tried has not worked. I can get the click event to work but not the tweet event no matter the doctype and no matter the IE version.

[captainpollard]

Has anyone got this to work for them??? If so can you push some example code? I can not get the tweet event to work no matter the doctype and no matter the version of IE.

I was having a similar problem, specifically with IE 11 until I upgraded my Flash Player to
version 11.9.900.170, at which point all web intent events started firing again. So now I know that MY browser is fine but how long will it take for everyone else to upgrade?

Hi John,

Thanks for alerting us to this on Twitter—the reappearance of this thread had passed me by, for which I apologise.

Using your test code I’m able to see events working in IE8, 9 and 10 (Windows XP and Windows 7) but IE11 on Windows 8.1 is as you describe, not throwing an event. I’ve tried the Flash update that @darao_donnell mentions below and that also hasn’t helped, so we’re going to have to spend a bit of time looking deeper.

IE has been a bit of a troublesome child with cross-window messaging for all time, and it’s entirely viable that a new security policy change has broken the messaging codepath again.

I don’t have an estimate on how long it’ll take to figure out where the break is yet, so in the interim I will note that the click event for the Intent does still fire (it originates in the same document) and you might be able to use that as a reliable fallback in the interim.

Thanks,

Ben

This actually works for me in IE 11 but not in 10,9 or 8.

I am still seeing this problem. I have tried various doctypes for ie and none work. Im seeing the problem in ie8, ie9, and ie10.

[turbojb]

Can you show me the format of doctype that worked?

[sergiomleon]

I have the same issue in IE11

[stevefounds]

Where in the ASP.net app do you put this code so it is triggered?
twttr.events.bind(‘tweet’, function(event) {
alert(‘tweet!!!’);
});
Also how can I test this since I am Embedding a public website?
Can you provide the whole code needed to execute this script. I think I need to include some API or something too… thanks

Its now been over 1 year since this has been reported as a problem. Is there a fix yet??
I’m flabbergasted that twitter has allowed this to be an issue for so long
